I would never mess with that pointer. Too risky if your programs fail, or you
simply forget to restore the pointer to your own QTEMP before you sign off.

You could however use that API to duplicate one or more objects to a
non-QTEMP library, let the job wait for a signal while you use any commands 
to change those objects and copy them back in to the other job's QTEMP again.
